100 Palestinian pilgrims return to Gaza | ||

RAFAH, Gaza Strip - About 150 Palestinian pilgrims returning from Mecca entered the Gaza Strip on Wednesday after a border-crossing dispute left about 2,000 of them stranded in Egypt for days, witnesses said. Egyptian security and border sources said most of a first batch of 1,152 Palestinian pilgrims had already crossed over on Wednesday, and that a remaining group of nearly 1,000 pilgrims were expected to cross soon.
An Israeli security official said he was unaware of any agreement to allow the pilgrims to pass through Rafah. Israel has no presence at Rafah, but a U.S.-brokered deal between Israel and the Palestinians says the crossing cannot be opened without IsraelÂ’s consent.
